E-SMART® TECHNOLOGY

The E-SMART® application was developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and General Atomics to address intelligent, continuous, real-time environmental monitoring needs in commercial and government applications. Leveraging off of that experience, GA added new sensors, alarming, reporting, data analysis tools, as well as integration with GIS applications and other warning and reporting networks to create the E-SMART® TA solution.

This new solution supports the needs of Homeland Security, Force Protection, Anti-Terrorism, and NBC community.

Together, the E-SMART® product family provides the monitoring, detection, and response capabilities for Environmental and Threat Agent applications.

A network of current and emerging sensors, connected via wire, fiber optic, or radio frequency
Open architecture, allowing for a network of disparate sensors from multiple manufacturers
High level visualization of sensor space data
Rapid deployment of sensors, network, and application software
Remote monitoring and configuration of sensors
Peer-to-Peer sensor communication
Sophisticated web-enabled software supporting configuration, monitoring, and response to sensor input
Flexibility to adapt to varied mission scenarios
Standalone or Integrated solution

The E-SMART® application is designed with flexibility and reliability in mind. The architecture incorporates intelligence at the sensor or device level allowing for advanced features including active device control, peer-to-peer communication, and network operation, regardless of the presence of a host computer.

The E-SMART® and E-SMART® TA network of sensors provides for detection, monitoring, and reporting of environmental, chemical, biological, radiological, and explosive agents. As our homeland security grows in importance, E-SMART® technology provides the protection and deterrence we need.
